According to her GoFundMe page, the family has asked for donations to help pay for funeral arrangements and outstanding medical expenses instead of donating flowers in her memory.

“The one blessing was that we were able to show her how loved she was before she passed. She brought so much light to people,” her family said in a statement.

Strauss went public with her battle with Stage 4 breast cancer on Oct. 5, three days after receiving her diagnosis.

“It has aggressively spread throughout my body and is incurable,” she wrote in a Facebook post. “With treatment, it may prolong my life longer than the ‘few months’ doctors said I could make it. I don’t want to die.”

The model entered hospice on Nov. 22.

“First night in hospice,” she wrote on Facebook. “So many things I never knew about life. Or death. So many things.”

According to her GoFundMe page, Strauss stopped chemotherapy a month ago.

In 2017, Strauss spoke about how happy she was being drug-free and helping others.

“I’ve been sober for three years and three months now,” she said at the time of the interview with Too Fab. “Not a drink, not a pill, not a joint, not a line, nothing. It’s really amazing. It’s a huge miracle to still be breathing after what I was up to and I’m so grateful. Whatever path and twists and turns I had to take to get here, I don’t regret any of them.”

Strauss took to Instagram to celebrate the anniversary of her sobriety on Aug. 17.

“Today I have [been] five years sober. Good God! I know a few things to be true: Miracles are real, [and] recovery is possible for everyone no matter how far gone you think you are,” Strauss wrote on Instagram at the time. “We are never too broken to be put back together. Service work feels better than the greatest high. Sobriety makes you weirder not normal… and I’d be dead if it weren’t for all the love and forgiveness I’ve been showered with by my friends and family. Thank you to anyone that’s ever let me sponsor them.”
